I'm amazed, in awe, and just absolutely in thrall with this:

The Importance of Being Brian By julad

I am so amazed that I dusted off the html tags. I wish I could do more. I want to start a foundation named after this fic. This fic makes me want to be a better person, a kinder human, this fic makes me want to do stuff to justify my right to exist in the same universe as it because it is just that good. I should probably volunteer again or something.

You see - Justin Taylor is Brian Kinney and not in some lame-ass body-swapping way or in the equally lame way my sister (I got a ton of new people reading this LJ of late - I live with my sister and her son and I generally talk about both without bother of interuption so I apologize for any confusion) drdawn decided that she was Brian Kinney a few months ago*.

This fic and fics like it is why Austria exists. I could cry.


*Dawn has said that her quality of life has improved immensely since she decided that she was Brian Kinney and I can testify that she does seem much happier. Or as happy as one can show when they are Brian Kinney. Word of caution: being Brian Kinney should not be attempted by everyone. In fact, only folks that are kinda like Brian Kinney anyway (Type A Personality Guys - I'm looking at you) should even try it. Otherwise, you'll be at the bar with a ton of friends and quite possibly embarrass yourself tremendously. If you don't think you can pull it off (I know whereof I speak) then you can't.

Your icon makes me realize that someone *cough* should make a QAF-US vid to "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" Although come to think of it, someone probably has. *g*

and Ted and Emmett would be Terence and Philip.

What? I'm just saying!

Lum will kill you for encouraging more QaF vids right now. There is important work to do with Angel. Oh, and Dead Like Me source to try to find. And then Firefly.

I want to see it!!!

I also need to know more QaFUS vidders. There are like 3 that I've found and none of us seem to even be vidding QaF right now.

I also need to sit you down and have you explain what the hell is going on Jeremiah right now, because I am so lost, lost, lost.

I always wanted to be Justin, but not PTS Justin, fun confident walking PSA Justin from season one. He was the one I tried to emulate, to be tenacious, loyal and brave. I never really wanted to be Brian, but I did want to do Brian.

I've thought about being Justin, but being Justin sucks and then Dawn started calling me Mikey cause I'm a geek and that just kind of made me mad.

She decided she was Brian 2 days after we discovered and watched every episode of the show. This was Pre-Austria. This was pre-everything QaF for us actually:

*waves* Thanks so much, but what I'm really here to do is squee madly over your icon choice, because the filename for this story was wwbd.txt. *g* I want a WWBD bracelet and everything.

I agree. Amidst my last few weeks of terrifying stress, I tried many tactics to deal with it. Lots and lots of coffee was one... the other was "you can do it, you're Brian Kinney for fuck's sake" running in a looop through my brain. What I discovered about that is that I cannot be Brian Kinney. I get too mad or excited about something, and I immediately queen out. Brian would never do that. I could be Justin, but bad things always happen to him. He's really brave, though.

I too become way to emotional to be Brian. The thing about Brian, though, is that he is a huge freaking drama queen - just not in a normal way. He is very infuriating.

I think you are Justin without the angst. Which is pretty much perfect. Just be careful, m'kay?
